381  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: F*CK BITCOIN. USELESS COIN BACKED BY NOTHING. Stablecoins are the future. on: August 23, 2021, 03:48:16 PM
Bitcoin is useless. Nothing more than a tool for speculative idiots. Satshi who?  What is bitcoin backed by? Absolutely nothing. At least fiat is backed by a nations economic prowess.
We have seen this prowess throughout history, so your story of fiat backed prowess is just a farce.

We are building a new stablecoin that will be 100% backed by dollars. A currency backed by the worlds largest economy. Unlike useless bitcoin. This is the future.  Reply for more info.
Who are we and what is it called. What is your company worth other than these useless boasting to peg the dollars. Until those details are transparent there is no point in your banter. The use case of Bitcoin is the investment coming into the currency and if you are one less user in Bitcoin that does not mean anything as it is not for everyone either Tongue.

Only two days remain and rain interruption is predicted for the next two days as well. On top of that, the ground is very poorly constructed and it doesn't allow play even when there is no rain, as the water is retained for some more time.
West Indies board is not spending money to purchase water absorbents and people are doing it manually and that takes a day to dry the ground. If they had spent money on that they could have played in the second day and if there is further rain in this match both the teams should go to the hotel and start preparing for the next match.
 
I am also not expecting a result but lets see if there is any further surprises in stores  Grin.

Did anyone saw some of the memes that has been getting around related to the future sports activities in Afghanistan. For now the Taliban needs everything under their control. Afghanistan looked highly progressive as a new team, and we as an outsider doesn't know in what situation they've practiced and progressed. Now the pain is big, it takes long to reach and get co-ordinated.
I was watching the news closely about the situation and there are some protest from woman from some parts of Afghanistan, earlier they used to execute people in public when they protest and this time they are allowing these to happen. But the general viewpoint is that since there is international media covering these things, the Taliban is letting that happen and once that dies down they will enforce their barbarian rule.

Sports will be affected without a doubt and Rashid Khan who is their successful player conveyed his situation as he is not able to help his relatives back home.

There is also the school of thought that bitcoin going up usually means good things for altcoins as well, which means that if you really work hard enough then you could make money based on bitcoin ups and downs even when you do not have any bitcoin but only hold altcoins, of course it should not be a horrible altcoin, it should be a proper one. There are so many that I dislike, USDT is not even an altcoin for me, XRP is a centralized horrible scam, BCH and BSV were always jokes to me, doge is a worthless and useless coin that got hyped.
For me the forks of Bitcoin are not a joke comparing thousands of other shit products and POS coins trying to change the future of the market. You will see in due time who are the jokes, a coin with limited nodes in the name of eco friendly POS coins or these fork coins that would survive any government intervention. Different school of ideas and welcome every ideas to thrive on their own is the best option, yes i had my anger in the beginning but not anymore.

This competition is only for US but there are a lot of other competitions in other countries. Japan, United Kingdom and Germany have bare knuckle fighting competitions of good level.
Not heard about bare knuckle boxing in other countries and even if there is it is not that popular outside of that circle. The reason is you will not find someone preparing for a career in bare knuckle boxing but you will find many preparing themselves to make a career in boxing or MMA and like you said the crazy injuries is another aspect for the reason why only washed up boxers kick boxers or MMA fighters will take up these bare knuckle fights.

^^It was a good read and i find it funny knowing the justification of the hack. I know that he is returning the funds but how many have he returned and it looks like he liquidated some coins and may be staking them  Cheesy. Unless he returns everything you cannot say that he was trying to save the network from other exploits and he wants the funds to be safe .

Fawad Alam is the batsman that is playing well for Pakistan in recent times along with Babar Azam and glad that he is getting the opportunity and showcase his talent at 35 years of age. I thought he would be a regular in the team when he first joined the team and scored a century in debut but that did not happen and late in his career he got the opportunity and now making use of his lost years.
If Fawad Alam was that talented and scored a century in debut why was he dropped, was it because of inconsistency in his performance. It is not like Pakistan team is having a huge bench strength of talented batsman waiting for a chance to play and why was he kept out. I searched online but could not find why he was dropped for 10 years.

Governments have to accept bitcoin one way or the other. They may either legalize it and put taxes on it or they may make it illegal's but people will still keep on using it.
The smart move by any government is to allow business to flourish rather than stopping them. All they need to do is make a legal framework, it might take 5 more years, no problem with the delay in making a framework of the law about the cryptocurrency market, but make sure that they will not come up with an outright ban because their brain is not allowing to create a framework for a decentralized currency  Grin.
389  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With all your assets, Investing in Bitcoin is really a madness or beneficial ? on: August 22, 2021, 07:27:55 PM
I was just reading a report about BTC , A USA family sell all there assets and with that amount they invest in Bitcoin in 2019. as in 2021 BTC was on its peak ! So they get huge profit.
There were many that took the risk and sold everything and invested in Bitcoin and that is a risk majority will not undertake and if they are smart enough to sell at the top then they can make a fortune that they will not be making in any other financial market. Everyone knew that the price would rally but huge respect to those who jumped risking everything as i wont be doing the same.

Its really possible but they need to create new marketing like improving their network. Im actually holding some ltc coins since 2016 but i never seen any big improvements since then but im not going to lose hope since i can actually use ltc coins because its really hassle free
There are improvements in the network from what they started and all the upgrades are done in time but the problem is that Litecoin is not getting the hype like Bitcoin or Ethereum whenever they make the upgrades or whenever there is a halving event. I do use Litecoin now a days simply because Dogecoin became expensive and after a long time i started to like them to make frequent transactions because the fees are really low.

When it comes to the valuation, the market determines the valuation and i have no idea how long it can go, but if you were lucky enough to get the coin when the price was really low, it is not a bad bet to get to the valuation it is now Grin.

In the past there is no cricket scheduled during this time of the month because it will be rain and knowing that the ICC should add a reserve day during these times rather than killing the fun altogether.
I was not following cricket that long but having a reserve day when they are playing during these rainy season is a good alternative to make things interesting rather than the match going for a draw. Only during the WTC the ICC wanted a reserve day but during regular series i doubt that the team will allow a reserve day because the tour date will last longer.

He did not announce that he will run for the presidency, but it's better for him to run as vice president it's still ripe for him to run for the highest office in the Philippines, I also doubt that he can win the presidency, there is no clamor for him to run for presidency and he needs a strong party with a lot of partnership, right now there's a lot of confusion on the party that he is heeding, after this fight he needs to address many issues, but he must win this fight first.
All the major media is claiming that Manny Pacquiao will be running for presidency, i am not aware of the politics he is involved or his chances but major international media thinks that he will be trying his luck and if he wants to that is another career altogether and that has anything to do with the results tomorrow.

If this is going to be his last fight then he could have announced that, but there are only rumors about this being his last fight, what ever it may be i am going to watch the fight live and expecting Manny to win.
393  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How many consecutive looses can you handle in trading? on: August 20, 2021, 11:50:41 PM
If i make consecutive 2 to 4 losses within a period of a week, I am likely going to stop and clear my head and restrategize! These kind of scenerio happens when I must have made good call consistently over a period of two to three months. At some point, I begin to get profit apathy,  and I could start making wrong call from that point forward!
That is a new word profit apathy  Cheesy. It happens to me while i am gambling when i keeps on winning for months and then i end up making some bad judgement calls simply because i am too confident and wanted to take risk and that is the case with investment. You make money and you think that all your calls will end up making money and it is these judgement calls that can ruin your months of work. I would usually take a long break from any similar activities and now i would take a break when i have the feeling to take much risk.

rumors, fud, regulatory issues, even a tweet from an influencer can move the market, so I totally agree that the crypto market is very manipulative. but this is what makes this market fun. There are many unexpected surprises that keep us always feeling challenged. even continuous increases are not healthy for the market, occasional correction is needed to maintain the market ecosystem. In addition to understanding market analysis, we also have to update news, expand knowledge and strengthen mentality to survive in this market.
The manipulation would affect only when the market is at a place when it was rallying for a while and now seeking direction and if a bad news hits the market everyone would make this as the reason for the correction. What i have noticed is that whenever the price started to build momentum sometimes none of the negative news will not have any impact. So it is hard to predict exactly what happens and it is fun because i am here for the long haul and these short term corrections does not bother me  Grin.

Rahane and Pujara are not experienced enough. So they are struggling to collect run. Scoring in Lord's is not easy. Experienced batsmen also have a lot of trouble making runs in Lord's. Rahane and Pujara may not be playing well. But they are talented. Given the opportunity, they will prove their worth. But I want to see bigger innings from Virat's in this series. He is the best player in India. But so far he has not been able to perform as expected.
How many matches Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have to play to get the experience. They combined played 164 Test matches and that is what we call experience and they are the most experienced batsman in the tour from either sides. They had a standard of scoring consistently but in some of the recent matches they are struggling to get their runs and they need to find a fix for that as well if not they will be replaced by younger talents.

This must be the funniest thread ever created (Aside from joking thread) .
Stable coin to become zero value? how can this be happen , you should have at least tell us some things on your mind why this may come.
backed up by dollars? meaning dollar will go down to zero also ?
If the cryptocurrency is really pegged to the US dollar then everyone should be able to verify that or you need to have an audit report. Have you seen the audit report from an authorized agency about Tether that they are backing atleast 20% of their coins in US dollars. If you have that clarity then we can say that it will last the test of time. But that is not the reality as there is nothing transparent when i checked and i am not sure whether they changed everything because they have a legal proceeding in court in the coming months.

You are right. Opposition bowlers have only done homework about Virat Kohli. They did not study about players like Kl Rahul or Rohit. KL Rahul has proved his mettle. India has won with the help of his performance. Bumrah and Shami's performances on the other hand were completely unexpected. The England team has never thought that Shami and Bumrah will be able to bat so well.
If a team did not study about Rohit Sharma and did not make a game plan then they will struggle, KL Rahul is not new and the openers are performing well but the players that are struggling is Rahane and Pujara and they need to step up their game as they are failing in consecutive innings.

The partnership of Sharmi and Bumrah changed the matches and there were many blunders during the match.

I have a question isn’t there a rule of ICC which says governments can’t interfere with the cricket board, but with Taliban in place Afghanistan will be in breach of this rule. Also will other countries welcome Afghanistan player’s now, because there’s always a risk of Taliban fighters boarding with the team, and hence I feel that it’s the end of road for Afghanistan national player’s.
Majority of people are scared to death in Afghanistan and we are talking about sports when everyone is running for their life . I do not want to see the team getting banned because they have some exceptional talent but the idea of Taliban boarding a flight with players is silly to the core  Grin.

I am expecting some sort of negotiation from part of the international community or that would be the end for cricket for them.

why are some individuals hostile to bitcoin,?? maybe the answer is simple, some are afraid of being rivaled, some are frustrated because they can't control bitcoin under their control, some don't understand and then change their minds so they hate bitcoin, there are also people who are impatient in investing, then they experience losses, In the end, bitcoin is to blame.
Majority are who that does not that understand or wrap their brain around a decentralized currency as they are stuck with the centralized world for a very long time. Even if we take a look at the current market situation, centralized exchanges have more volume and it is not because we do not have decentralized exchanges but people are used to centralized and like to live in a order. Those who are seeking new ideas will explore and there are some who missed out on the initial boom and now they are sore that they missed out of potential millions.
